What Flower is this?
Hi People, can someone please tell me the name of this flower? I have
uploaded it on my site www.rent-a-cloud.com under 'Greencards' It's at the beginning, yellow and named 'Wildflower' Visitors to my site ask me for identification. I would be grateful for your help. I found this flower on bushes north of Sydney, Australia. I do not know if it is an Australian native. (My site is NOT commercial. It is my hobby for videoclips and greeting cards of nature, free for personal use). Thanks for your help - Klaus |

It looks like a papilionoid flower to me (so in the general vicinity of http://florabase.calm.wa.gov.au/browse/photo/23495 and http://florabase.calm.wa.gov.au/browse/photo/3713), but there are very many species in that group, and very many have yellow flowers.

Several of them native to eastern Oz look a bit like your pic. http://images.google. com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=DVXA,DVXA:2004-38, DVXA:en&q=pultenaea&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi Hmm... That URL's a bit of a pain. :-) Suggest you just google "Pultenaea" then select the "images" option and work from there. *** Australia has a very large and unique flora, so I cannot help you.

Yeah. _Daviesia_ was the other name on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't get it out last night. 8-) Cheers, Phred. -- LID |

First. I must say I am not an authority, but I do have a book on Sydney
Flora. The nearest that I can get to the image on the Rent-a-cloud site is Dillwynia floribunda, which is common in the area, grows to 2m and restricted to wet places in heath and woodland. It seems to be the only one with a dense head of flowers going some way down the stem. If that is not the right environment, it might be D. retorta which grows to 1m on dryer areas in heath and woodland. Also common. Pultenaea and Daviesia seem to have fewer flowers at the end of the stem. The legumes in Australia are a very large family and determining them from images not really practicable. But aren'tthey lovely! Peter "blacklight" wrote in message ups.com... Hi People, can someone please tell me the name of this flower?

Pultenaea and Daviesia seem to have fewer flowers at the end of the stem. That's the thing that worried me about my ealier "dets". :-) The legumes in Australia are a very large family and determining them from images not really practicable. But aren't they lovely! The main problem with them, and much of the other Oz flora, is that the flower show is often *very* short. Well, here in the tropics anyway. I guess with the higher temperatures they're just too promiscuous and rush to seed. ;-) "blacklight" wrote in message oups.com... Hi People, can someone please tell me the name of this flower?

Thanks Peter for your reply. I followed a lead and found that photos
of Aotus genistoides seemed to come closest. With much appreciation for your help - Klaus Hi Klaus That could well be correct, but the more common species of this genus is Aotus ericoides - see http://tinyurl.com/29qv8z for a drawing. From your image, the flower bracts look more needle like than A. enistoides, but you have seen the plant and I have not. When in doubt, I go for the more common species. This link, http://tinyurl.com/2lmqe9 , says that this is a problem genus and that A. ericoides, "the most widespread species, is also the most variable with a number of probable taxa included in this name". Peas are difficult! Peter |
